This coming Sunday, October 13, First Christian Church of Newport is hosting a screening of The Pink Room, a documentary about sex trafficking in SE Asia and what some organizations are doing about it. The screening will be held at 6:30pm and admission is free. We invite everyone to come and be challenged to care and to do something about this atrocity that is going on all over the world right now. Check out these links for more information:

Agape International Missions is working in Svay Pak, Cambodia (a village just outside of the capitol, Phnom Penh) to provide jobs, educate children & adults, and restore girls who have been freed from sex slavery.

3StrandsGlobal imports and distributes bracelets made by the rescued girls in Cambodia. We will offer 3Strands bracelets for sale at the screening on Sunday. All profits from the sales will go directly to AIM to fight trafficking and restore trafficked children.

We will still be having our Trunk-or-Treat today from 4-6pm, however we are not going to be outside with decorated trunks due to the weather. We will be inside the church with decorated tables for the kids to walk around and collect goodies from. Please come by and warm up/dry off inside while collecting goodies.

Are you looking for something to do on Saturdays in March? Come stop by the church and help us spruce up the place before Easter. We will be working EVERY Saturday in March. We will begin each Saturday at 9AM and work as long as we can. Please join us many hands make light work! If you have any questions please contact Amy Reineccius or the church office.

Donations from the Chili Cook-Off will go to Joni Morse who is a missionary in Thailand. He is planning to build an addition on to the school to create a study room/ library/ prep room for students and staff at the school.

Entry forms are in the church lobby, if you would like to enter.

The missions committee is providing cornbread, hotdogs, buns, and condiments as well as beverages. All non-contestants are asked to bring a salad or dessert.

Pick out your ugliest holiday sweater and wear it. We will see who can be the ugliest!

Also bring a gift wrapped and we will be having a White Elephant gift exchange.
The gift should not be more than $5 dollars.
It can be a re-gift (a gift someone got you that you would like to pass to someone else)
It can be something used
It can be an awful gift.
Everyone will be given a number. When your number is called you have an option to steal someones already opened gift, or pick one out from under the tree. A gift may be stolen only 2 times, and may not be stolen consecutively. (in a row) If your gift gets stolen you get to pick another gift.
We will have Holiday snacks. I will not be providing a full meal.
If you need a ride, call me!! It’s a real fun Youth Group Celebration!!
